My first day in Denmark was magical. Elin's house is set before an expansive barley field. I could sit for hours contemplating the beauty of the setting. There are few bugs in Denmark, no screens on the windows and doors. It feels so very fresh and open.

After breakfast Elin and I went on a bike ride through the barley fields and had a picnic by the beach.

Wonderful pictures! Glad everthing went well.
